The groove

For the first time since the holidays, today I feel as though I am finding a groove.  Perhaps I just needed to get back in the mindset of work or maybe I had to build up a certain amount of momentum, but I feel as though I am starting to hit a stride.

My design work is coming together, I spent over an hour going through the current parts with one of our machinists.  This gave me opportunity for some fantastic feedback before we move to production.

In the afternoon I focused on some laboratory measurements and after an impromptu talk at lunch with my supervisor, we came up with the idea to try a different sample.  I prepared a batch and will run some measurements in a couple days.  These could be the last experiments to get my current (growing) paper out the door.  Also anything that's good news for a publication is also good news for my thesis.
